Apr 28, 2005 Fairly dark in its brown color. No head and weak aroma. Taste had shocked me at first but i got used to its rich sweetness and use of malt.

Dec 21, 2004 Dark brown with a redish tint. Small off white (bar pour) head, but left some lacing. Brown ale aroma. Start is lightly sweet with some nutty notes and a light coffee like bitter finish. Light palate with a slightly metallic aftertaste. One of Karl Strauss’s better brews.

Dec 18, 2004 This one had that smell of ’brown’ - what I expect a brown ale to smell like. Some burnt flavors, but otherwise fairly smooth with malty aftertastes. A nice deep brown without having the heat of a darker beer.

Dec 12, 2004 Tap, at the Shout House. I was pretty housed when I started drinking this stuff, but I remember it went down pretty easy, no bold flavors or aromas stuck out. Kind of a light feel. Solid beer though.

Aug 9, 2004 Body is pretty light for the style. Very toasty and malty flavor was good. Carbonation was a bit high, not bad overall.
